Dual Dion, tl access near roJv, XKO March 1, 1942. Mrs. Whitney made art auction history in 1990 when she sold one of Renoir's most famous paintings, the sun-dappled cafe scene At the Moulin de la Galette. It brought $78.1 million, the second-highest price for any artwork sold at auction. Judge Dread, British singer known for smutty lyncs CANTERBURY, England Judge Dread, whose fusion of smutty lyrics and a reggae beat produced a pair of top 10 singles in Britain in the 1970s, died March 13 after suffering a heart attack during a performance.

He was 53. He had his first British hit in 1972 with Big Six, which got as high as No. 1 1 during 27 weeks on the chart. He later had two songs in the top 10 Big Seven in 1972, and Je aime (mot non plus), a takeoff on a controversial heavy-breathing record by Serge Gains-bourg and Jane Birkin, in 1978. Sharon Knutson, a guest at the event, said she was grateful to the club.

"I would have never, ever, ever, ever, not in my wildest dreams imagined not only the law-enforcement support but the community support," she said. Her husband. Department of Public Safety Officer Doug Knutson, was killed by a motorist while he was out on an abandoned-vehicle call. "A guy just showed up with a check," Sharon Knutson said. "That along with other community support paid for all the funeral expenses.

It was phenomenal." The 100 Club once touted itself as a "highly selective" group that accepted a "special kind of individ ual." These days, club leaders are looking to expand that base of support as more officers and fire fighters are injured on the job. Last year, the 100 Club paid out $29,000 in benefits, aiding the families of three slain officers and eight others who were injured. And that commitment has won the little-known club some staunch supporters, not the least of which are public-safety workers and their families. "There are a lot of what I term 'good' people in the citv of Phoenix." Kliewer wrote. "Those who dont have to be flamboyant and just want to help people.

"I put your club in that category." For information, contact the 100 Club at 485-0100.

"I want to go to college after I graduate high school," he said. "Ill probably go into something like psychology or sociology, so this is laying the foundation for my future" And the future, for Bessken and for the callers that know him by the sound of his voice, looks a little more rosy.

"Hopefully.

It was phenomenal. SHARON KNUTSON WIDOW OF OFFICER KILLED IN LINE OF DUTY, ON 100 CLUB'S EFFORTS changed that. Another group of Phoenix businessmen got together and patterned their efforts after Detroit's 100 Club. George Souvall, a Phoenix 100 Club founder, said the businessmen began by calling or writing friends and acquaintances for support. For years, the 100 Club's cause has been spread through word-of-mouth.

It now has about 300 members, each of whom pavs a fee to join and contributes 150 a year in annual dues. The club usually provides families $4,000 in the case of a death and up to $2,000 in the case of an injury. However, the board of directors considers extenuating circumstances on a case-by-case basis, club treasurer Bob Withers said. A couple of hundred 100 Club members joined business and community leaders at the Phoenix Country Club last Wednesday to celebrate the club's 30th anniversary.

"We're quiet because we don't want to take credit," said Jim Kohler, the club's executive director.

"And we don't want members with stickers or badges to maybe try to use that influence to get out of a speeding ticket." Kliewer and Officer Jerry Kil-gore, who was shot in the same incident, have returned to the Phoenix Police Department's Special Assignment Unit. In a thank-you letter, Kliewer said he would spend some of the money on new jeans to replace the one paramedics had to cut through to work on his injuries and a T-shirt to replace the one with the bullet hole. "Our homicide unit kept my tennis shoes," he wrote, "so I will be getting a new pair, hopefully a faster pair!" The 100 Club concept originated in the Detroit area in the 1950s with a Pontiac dealer named Bill Packer. Packer heard about a widow whose husband, a policeman, was shot during a routine pickup of a man who Tailed to appear on a traffic-violation charge. After a meeting with the widow, who was pregnant with her first child.

Packer sat down and wrote 100 friends asking for contributions.

"Basically what I do is talk to these people and see where they're at emotionally and if they have a means of hurting themselves," Bess-ken said.
